Essential oils are one of nature’s remedies. Not only do they smell fantastic, but they can also be a great way to add antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties to your homemade products. Each essential oil contains it’s own set of unique properties so look for two or three to blend together for a broader spectrum of benefits. Always look for 100% pure essential oils for their medicinal values. You can add the essential oils to your all-purpose cleaner, dish water, laundry, diffuser, air freshener, upholstery or carpet spray, and anywhere that needs some extra cleaning power. Thyme, savory, oregano, lemongrass, and cinnamon can cause skin irritation in high doses. Have fun experimenting with your favorite scents and enjoy their amazing cleaning powers!
